The Preston performance of this work was the sixth concert of the “UK” leg, which returned to their home country in triumph. This vacuum-packed recording of such a show is a famous recording that was once released normally by the Sirene label. It was incredibly clear for the time, and the fresh sound penetrated my heart. The audience recording was only vivid, and the musical tones cut straight through the space without any obstructions. The sound depicted is the revival show that sent “RETURN TO FANTASY” to 7th place in the UK. Although the final songs of the show, “Bird Of Prey”, “Love Machine”, and “Look At Yourself”, are not included, there are still plenty of masterpieces unique to that time. Let’s summarize the contents here.

And even though they were new songs, they were so exciting! In “Prima Donna,” Wetton gets the crowd going with the “rock ‘n’ roll!!” barrage. It’s full of the atmosphere of the UK, in the midst of their biggest hit. “WONDERWORLD” also features “Suicidal Man.” Up until the John Sloman era, they played it occasionally, but after that, it was sealed away as a repertoire. Other rare and delicious songs include the masterpiece “Rainbow Demon” and the heavy “Suicidal Man”. In particular, “Rainbow Demon”, revived with Wetton’s bass and chorus, is the best even without the rarity. URIAH HEEP and John Wetton, characterized by their catchy melody and thick chorus work.
